ARRESTED FOR RAPE.
To Which the Charge of Murder
May Be Added.

This morning Deputy sheriff b. M.
Covington, OF Wilson county, appeared
at George SohrOeder's store and camp
yard on East Commerce street with
papers for the arrest Of Jim Harper, a
negro, who was working there, said
papers being an order Of arrest for Har-
per, on the charge OF rape OF a little
seven-year old negro girl, the child OF q
farmer named Brown, living three miles
east OF Stookdale, In The eastern part OF
Wilson county. A gentleman named
Moody, employed at Schroder's, knew
Harper, and knew he WAS wanted In
Wilson county. and with the officer cor
nered the negro and tried to arrest him,
but he stood at bay against them and
would not be arrested until telephone
call summoned mounted Policeman
James Van Ripper, who conveyed him to
the city jail, where he remained until
train time, when he was shaokled and
put aboard the Arkansas Pass train and
started with the deputy sheriff for
Floresyille, where he will be placed In
the Jail there.
Deputy Sheriff CoVington says the
alleged rape was committed last Thurs
day, while Harper was engaged on
Browns farm picking cotton. The child
was also picking cotton. Her condition
was not discovered Immediately, and
when discovered the negro had fled. He
came to San Antonio last Saturday. The
child was so terribly assaulted, that two
physicians have since attended her and
yesterday when the officer left for this
city, she was reported to be dying. Ere
this she is probably dead and to the
crime Of rape may be added that of muir
der against Harper.
Harper lives in the old Fourth ward
in this city and has lived here several
years. He is married man, but has
been considered by the city and county
officers as very "tough," being several
times in trouble and under arrest for bad
breaks west of the San Pedro, and
around camp yards. When the warrant
was read to him in the Jail this morning
he assumed an ill-kept-up brayadO
which weakened, however, when the
full import of the terrible charge
dawned upon him, and grew very ner-
vous, as we'll he may, for In FlOresvlle
and all Wilson county, the people are
terribly worked up about 1t and lynch
ing is freely talked OF.

THE KILLING AT ELMENDORFF
A Question Whether 1t Was AccI.
dental or a Murder.

A Question Whether 1t Was AccI-
dental or Murder.
The officers of this city last night ar
rested two negro tramps, who gave their
names as Geo. jackson and Walter
Lynch, and put them in the Dat cave
cells on the charge Of having caused the
death Of the negro reported In yester-
days LIGHT as having been thrown off
the Arkansas Pass train at Elmendorff
and killed by the cars running over him.
Both, Of course, pleaded not guilty to the
charge when questioned by the officers,
and told u different tale entirely. Both
men acknowledged being on the train at
the time of the accident" and said the
third one. who was boy, and they we're
strangers. They did not know his name,
nor did they know each other until the
accident. All were working their way
to San Antonio, loading cotton on the
train, "coaling up" ets. When the train
pulled out OF Elmendorff, all hands
''caught on" as best they could. jack
son fell off the platform into the coal
car, and Lynch caught the last car. The
boy tried to catch the box car, but fell,
and the cars passed over his body, and
killed him. They deny that they had q
quarrel and that the boy was showed of,
although Lynch accidentally let his
tongue slip last night and stated that
Jackson showed him off the train.

s. A, p. Car Shops.

The correspondent OF the Galveston
News has learned the following and tele-
graphs 1t to his paper:
at is reported that letter was re-
ceived here from President Lott, OF the
Arkansas Pass railway, saying that plans
for a roundhouse and workshops sub
mitted have been accepted and ap-
proved; also, that an order has been
given the Niles tool works, OF Hamilton,
o., for $4,000 worth of tools, with but
few changes from the plans originally
submitted. The opinion is that the
shops will be located at Yoakum, In La
vaca county, where 100 acres Of land
were donated to the railroad company.
The tool trade has evidently been made
with the Niles works, and would not
have been unless there was an intention
Of building shops to use the tools in
The town Of Yoakum is located In a
prairie country, near the Bushy creek.
1t was understood by San Antonio when
they subscribed toward building this
railroad, that these chops should be 10
Gated here, and this development, II en-
bodying fact, will arouse no small de-
gree OF Interest.

The Day of Ats

This day of solemn y De
rigidly kept by the de noes, so
for more than $500 years. sNebrews
served in the Jewish synag, ~ OBJ
city, from the going down ofr nthls
Tuesday until the setting OF - Non
last evening. The services wiz /2n di
mepced on Tuesday continl
through the day yesterday the un>N
fast of the true followers OF the al ~
law attesting their devotion TO the - ~
and customs OF the "Church in the "
derness" as delivered to their ancie. :
law giver and head, the Moses OF tn,
Old Testament. The rythmical chant 5
ing of the service and the ChOruses and
parts Of the musical numbers were most
admirable calculated to heighten the re-
ligious feelings and call out the deep de.
yotional spirit Of these descendants OF
Abraham and of Isaac and OF Jacob. The
we'll trained and strongly led choir rem
dered the grand old music Of Mozart and
of HAYDEN and Of Mendelssohn and Of
other masters most artistically, and with
inspiriting effect.
Prof. Barbour presided at the organ
and directed the choir, consisting OF
Miss Landa and Mrs. Freedom, sopranl;
Misses Marie Lacoste and Lily Mayer,
| altI: Mr.. Morris, tenor, and Messrs otto
Becker and l.. p. Boettler, bassi. The
| musical selections contained such
gems as:
| Mercy Beams (chorus) 90. ............ kreutzer
| Shout for Joy chorus. ......,...,.... MoLart
| NV Soul is Sure duet for soprano and alto.
| N'' Curtis
| O"' " Muller
| Oh, Bless My Soul (chorus) Hayden
| Ye Silent Worlds alto solo and chorus ...;;
| ROsewald
Resound, Ye Worlds (chorus).. .Mendelssohn
The discourse on the lessons OF the
day by Rabbi Lewinthsl was most I'M
pressiye and instructive, as were also the
address and discourses delivered during
the course OF the day, and in the regular
order of the services.
The day was fully observed by the
Jews Of the city and their tabernacle
which is no longer q tent, as wa'
pitched at the foot Sinai, but veritabl'
temple FL Beth, was thronged wltl
deyout worshippers.
